After having worked for four months in India as a volunteer in a slum school I have settled down in Sanmenxia, China, where I'll be teaching as an English teacher at 'Sanmenxia foreign language middle school'. My name is Tony, graduate in International Economics and Finance and it is on this blog that I will keep you posted of my life in the far East! Current posts reflect my Chinese adventures nowadays whereas older posts touch upon all that I have done in India. Have fun reading!

Lhori!

A Punjab festival, characterised by bonfires and punjabi dances. The festival is related to the Sikh, which form a separate religious unity in India. They have played a prominent role in India's history and are easy to recognise by their ever present turbans.

The party I attended last night with three fellow trainees from kalkaji was organised to celebrate this particular festival. On the rooftop of one of the trainee houses in Delhi's outskirts a big bonfire was lit. The party was complete with a complete DJ stand and coloured lights. I can state without doubt that parties like these keep the life of a trainee interesting enough!
